I'm pleased to announce that Peter Chambers of GAP Software has given permission for the Front Page range of QL desktop publishing programs to be made available as freeware.

So I have made available copies of Front Page, Front Page Extra and Front Page Extra 2 programs.

Front Page was the first version and can run on unexpanded systems.Front Page Extra was an enhanced version.Front Page Extra 2 added even more facilities such as higher resolution fonts.

I've included manuals for FP Extra and FP Extra 2 as scanned Word and PDF files. Unfortunately, I don't have a copy of the manual for the original version, so if anyone has a copy which could be scanned and made available, please get in touch.

Any volunteers?

I scanned in the Front Page Extra and Front Page Extra 2 manuals. I was rather surprised my OCR did such a good job of it since the original dot matrix printouts weren't exactly good. If nobody else volunteers, send it to me.

Giorgio Garabello asked on QL-users list for some screenshots of Front Page, I couldn't get them togo through as attachments there, so here are a couple (actually, from Front Page Extra since that happened to be the disk I had to hand)
